In this episode the Theology on Tap crew discusses scripture and how it is the only rule and norm of our faith as followers of Jesus, so pour yourself a cold beer, warm cup of milk, hot tea or a bottle of water and enjoy this conversation.
Salvation is gifted to people by God’s grace alone. Through faith alone, in Christ alone.
And this truth is revealed to us in Scripture alone. the ultimate source of Truth about salvation.
What do we mean by “Scripture”?
The 66 books of the Bible (27 NT 39 OT)
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the people of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Alone:
For better or for worse: This truth is only found in the Bible, Scripture
Alone in the sense that other sources of reliable ideas are informed BY the scriptures, not the other way around.
"Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen." -Martin Luther
What is Truth?
"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your face. Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance." Psalm 89
Reason is helpful!
Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
Does all that this discussion of Scripture alone mean that, as Christians, we should ignore authority figures in the church? Are we anarchists? Did the reformers pass along a rebellious legacy?
Do we have to throw all traditions out the window, never establishing any new ones?
Does it mean that we tell our non-believing friends to ignore all their experiences, especially the "spiritual" ones?
And the really big one... Does it mean that Christians can't - or don't - believe in science?
